Great Lakes Industrial, a family-owned industrial services provider, is thrilled to announce its recognition as a 2024 Future 50 company by BizTimes Media, in partnership with the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC). This prestigious accolade marks the second year in a row that Great Lakes Industrial has been honored with this title.

The Future 50 program, now celebrating its 35th year, highlights the fastest-growing privately-owned companies in the Milwaukee region. The program acknowledges businesses that have been operational for at least three years and have exhibited remarkable growth in both revenue and employment. Companies that demonstrate the highest levels of recent growth are selected for this esteemed list.

Great Lakes Industrial’s inclusion in the Future 50 list reflects its impressive growth trajectory, fueled by both strategic acquisitions and robust organic expansion. In 2023, the company made a significant leap forward by acquiring a new manufacturing facility in Ohio, which has bolstered its production capabilities and broadened its service offerings. GLI’s acquisition strategy aligns with the company’s vision to enhance efficiency and scale its operations to meet increasing market demands.

“Winning a Future 50 award based on our company’s growth is a testament to our championship-level team within our family business. At our core, we prioritize the well-being of each team member and foster a supportive environment, all while maintaining high standards for success,” says George Baumann, President.

Great Lakes Industrial will be honored alongside other distinguished companies at an awards luncheon scheduled for Friday, September 20, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event will take place at the Italian Community Center, located at 631 E. Chicago St., Milwaukee. The luncheon will be hosted by BizTimes Media.
